INTRODUCTION The PHD 200 Dehumidifier reduces humidity in enclosed structural environments by removing water vapor from the air. With proper use, the PHD 200 can help to dry out damp structural materials, insulation, and contents, and maintain a healthy level of humidity. Using the PHD 200 may also prevent secondary damage caused by high hu-midity. WARNING

CORRECT PLUG REMOVAL

Grasp IEC plug and pull straight out IMPORTANT: Damage to IEC receptacle or dehu-midifier resulting from improper removal of the power cord is not covered by warranty. The IEC power cord is a wear item and is not covered by warranty.110482N (07-01913) #103806 (F515) 2 Legend Brands, Inc. How the PHD 200 works The PHD 200 refrigerant dehumidifier uses a fan to draw moist air in and condenses it into water that collects in a tray and is automatically pumped out through a drain hose. The PHD 200 is preset to automatically maintain a 50% RH level. To change this setting, see “Humidistat Mode” below. Note: Unit automatically shuts off below 40% RH.

CONTROLS AND OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS Set unit upright NOTICE: Always store, transport, and use the unit in a horizontal position. If the unit is ever placed in a vertical position, return it to the horizontal position and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before turning it on. Positioning a Dehumidifier For best results, operate your dehumidifiers in an en- closed area. Place your dehumidifier away from obstruc- tions, and keep it away from anything that could block airflow into and out of the unit. For more information about creating an optimum drying environment, contact Legend Brands at 800-932-3030. TIP: Before installing in a crawlspace or other difficult to access location, plug in the unit and run it for approxi- mately half an hour to ensure proper operation. Set up drain hose The PHD 200 condensate pump connects to a plastic drain hose equipped with a quick-connect fitting for quick attachment to the unit. To set up the hose, unwrap the entire hose and place the unattached end in a sink, drain, bucket or outdoors – anywhere that water can drain out safely. Connect the other end of the hose to the PHD 200. If you use a bucket or other container for water collection, check it regularly to prevent overflows. NOTICE: Uncoil and straighten the entire drain hose. Do not leave any part of the hose coiled and do not place the end of the hose higher than 3 ft. (1 m) above the bot- tom of the unit. Also check for kinks or other obstructions that might restrict the flow of water. Obstructions may cause a water backup and result in overflows. Plug in electrical cord The PHD 200 should be plugged into a GFCI-protected 115 volt outlet rated for at least 15 amps. Always plug the cord firmly into the unit first, and then plug the other end into a suitable outlet. Startup display and normal display modes When unit is first plugged in to AC power, the control panel display will briefly cycle through a series of readouts. This is part of the unit’s self-diagnosis proce- dure and no user intervention is required.

To reduce the possibility of drips when moving the unit, follow these additional steps to ensure that all water is removed from the unit. NOTICE: To ensure all water is removed from the dehu- midifier, the unit will complete the defrost cycle even if the unit is turned off. If the unit is unplugged during the defrost cycle, excessive water may accumulate in the unit and may drip out when you move the unit. NOTICE: To ensure the condensate tank empties com- pletely while purging, make sure the unit is placed up- right on a horizontal surface.

1. If the unit is in a defrost cycle, wait until the unit

has returned to normal operating mode before pro- ceeding.

2. Gently rock the machine to ensure any water re-

maining on interior surfaces falls into the sump area.

3. Press the PURGE key. When the purge cycle is

complete, turn the unit off.

4. Remove the external drain hose, drain it carefully,

coil it and secure it with one of the straps provided on the side of the unit.

5. Remove the power cord, coil it neatly, and secure

it with one of the straps provided.

WARNING: Risk of dust and contaminants exposure.

Use of respirator mask and gloves is recommended. If unit has been exposed to potentially dangerous contami- nants, clean thoroughly and sanitize before reuse. NOTICE: The unit is fitted with sensitive electronic sen- sors. Protect the sensors and their lead wires from dam- age and do not expose them to water or cleaning solu- tion. The following tools and supplies are needed to com- plete the maintenance procedures described in this manual: Philips screwdriver 10 mm wrench 6 mm hex bit ¼ in. nut driver Cleaning cloths HEPA vacuum cleaner with soft brush nozzle and crevice nozzle. Recommended Cordless drill, small knife, small-jaw pliers, coil clean- ing solution, rotomolded housing cleaning solution. Before each use Inspect the electrical cord for damage. Look for fray- ing, cuts, etc. Replace the cord if you find any damage. Inspect filter. The PHD 200 filter should be replaced when the accumulation of dust is visible. Monthly Clean pump check valve and basin. In normal use, dust can accumulate and can restrict airflow, reducing performance and causing the unit to overheat. Clean when dust accumulation is visible. Remove grills and cover as shown in Fig. B. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush tool and a soft cloth to remove any debris. Take care not to damage any interior components. To maintain appearance, wipe interior and exterior sur- faces with a damp cloth. For deep cleaning and a last- ing, protective shine, use an automotive interior cleaner. As Needed Clean pump check valve and basin. Remove grills and cover as shown in Fig. B. Remove screws from pump base and lift out pump. Wipe out pump basin with a damp cloth. Unthread barbed fitting with check valve and rinse fitting and check valve with clean water. Reinstall barbed fitting into pump. Do not overtighten. Reinstall pump on base. Reinstall cover and grills. Clean coils. With the cover removed, inspect both coils. If excessive dust and debris is present, vacuum thor- oughly and/or clean with coil cleaner. Remove the 4 screws from housing and 2 top screws each from inlet and outlet grills and lift off cover. Fig. B: Disassembly for Cleaning110482N (07-01913) #103806 (F515) 6 Legend Brands, Inc.
